Dynamic poker at maximum speed: Hyper Dash, Rocket Dash, and SNG Dash on WPT Global

In modern online poker, more and more players are looking for formats that don't require spending hours sitting at the table. WPT Global heard this request and in January 2026 launched a revolutionary line of fast tournaments that completely redefine the understanding of speed in poker.

Hyper Dash is a multi-table tournament (MTT) built on the principle of maximum acceleration. Imagine a classic tournament, but without all those minutes of waiting that sometimes make poker boring. Hyper Dash uses incredibly short blind levels and a compact structure that guarantees constant action from the first hand to the final table.

The Hyper Dash schedule is impressive in its density and variety. According to the official schedule, tournaments start every hour at the 40-minute mark (as well as at other times for Super Sonic and other variants) with different buy-ins — from modest $1.10 for beginners to serious $110 for experienced players. Guaranteed prize pools range from $100 to $1,500 depending on the buy-in. With an average playing time of less than one hour, Hyper Dash is ideal for players who want to play a full tournament between work or school meetings.

The peculiarity of Hyper Dash is that blinds grow 16 times in just 15 minutes. This creates an environment where every decision has weight and every hand can change the course of the game. WPT Global created special sub-variants: Super Sonic Hyper Dash with guarantees up to $1,500 and Lucky Dash in 7-max format for those who value a slightly wider table.

If Hyper Dash is a sprint, then Rocket Dash is a sprint with rocket propulsion. This is an hourly hyper-turbo tournament with progressive knockout (PKO) mechanics, meaning progressive bonuses for eliminating opponents.

The key feature of Rocket Dash is an incredibly short starting stack. Players start with just 10 big blinds, and blind levels change every 2 minutes. This means that push-fold strategy (all-in/fold) becomes the primary tool from the very first hands. Tournaments start 15 minutes after each full hour with buy-ins from $1.10 to $55, and the average playing time is approximately one hour.

What makes Rocket Dash especially interesting is the system of knockout bonuses. Every time you eliminate an opponent, you receive part of their stack as a bonus, and their head-hunting bonus (bounty) transfers to you. This rewards aggressive play and makes the tournament more tense and exciting. For fans of PKO formats, this is the ideal combination of speed and strategy.

SNG Dash is a new interpretation of classic Sit & Go tournaments. The main difference from Hyper Dash and Rocket Dash is that these are single-table tournaments for 8 players that start immediately once the required number of participants is gathered.

The SNG Dash structure includes 3-minute blind levels and an expected time of around 45 minutes. But the most interesting part is in the prize distribution. Due to the hyper-fast structure, players reach the bubble and final positions very quickly. The tournament has three prize places, which means that the probability of reaching the money is significantly higher than in standard multi-table tournaments, where only 12-18% of participants cash.

SNG Dash is ideal for players who want to minimize variance and get a more stable result. There's no need to wait for a scheduled start time — the tournament begins the moment the table is full.

Playing in Hyper Dash, Rocket Dash, and SNG Dash requires a substantially different approach than classic online poker. When blinds grow so rapidly, traditional tight poker doesn't work.

In early levels (first 10-15 minutes) you can still allow yourself some selectivity in starting hands, but you should already be thinking about growing your stack. Blind stealing (attempting to steal blinds with an aggressive raise) becomes a central part of the strategy.

⚡ In middle levels the situation speeds up. Your stack quickly shrinks to 15-30 big blinds, and every blind won is critical. Here you need ruthless aggression in position and the ability to read opponents. Position becomes king — button and small blind players should open with almost any cards.

⚡ In late levels (final 10-20 minutes before the final table) the strategy reduces to push-fold. With a short stack, you go all-in on any decent hand because the blinds will eat you anyway. Here the ability to calculate equity precisely is critical.

one of the key points: in hyper-turbo, the equity of different ranges is much closer to each other than in regular tournaments.

This means it's easier to double your stack, but you can also lose faster. Variance in hyper-turbo is very high, so it's recommended to play them with a sufficiently large bankroll.

WPT Global is the official online home of the World Poker Tour, and in January 2026 the site presented this three-pronged revolution. But why choose exactly WPT Global to play these formats?

First, accessibility and appeal. The site actively develops innovative formats and has an attractive player pool. Second, generous bonuses and promotions.
